Do more with Volvo

The EW60E is equipped with a number of features combined to increase machine availability and reduce downtime. Ground level service access and convenient greasing points reduce service time and maintenance costs. Service intervals can easily be monitored via the in-cab screen, which shows reminders when maintenance is needed. 

The new Volvo engine and improved hydraulics work together to offer superior fuel efficiency. With the standard auto idle feature – a unique offering from Volvo – the engine stops automatically after a preselected idle time, lowering fuel costs and noise. A stopped hour meter reduces maintenance costs and increases the resale value of the machine.

This excavator is equipped with Volvo MATRIS software that analyzes operator behavior to improve efficiency, boost productivity and reduce fuel and maintenance costs. Volvo also offers the VCADS Pro diagnostic system, making it easy to control the machine.
